Reminder: No School on Monday, February 16!
Kindergarten loved going to Elevate! We had so much fun! We also enjoyed lunch in our classroom!
Tomorrow is our K-4 trip to ELEVATE and Friday will be 5-8's turn! Please remember to dress in something that you can jump in! We will leave the school at 9am and be back around 12:30 for lunch. Kids will get a drink and snack on their ride home after their 90 minute jump session! We are looking forward to two great field trips!
Congratulations to our Caring Cardinal Card winners!

Don't forget that tomorrow is an 11:20 dismissal for K-8!
Also, there is no Pre-K tomorrow.
In pre-K we also completed an in-depth clothing study that helped the children learn about everyday items in a meaningful way. We began by talking about different kinds of clothing and why people wear them. The children examined the features found on clothes, including tags, labels, pictures, buttons, snaps, Velcro, and zippers. They practiced opening and closing fasteners to build fine motor skills and independence.
We explored many types of fabrics such as cotton, denim, fleece, silk, and wool. The children compared how the fabrics felt, noticing which were soft, rough, thick, or thin. During art activities, the children used paper people and styrofoam pieces and dressed them using fabric scraps and collage materials. They designed outfits for different purposes such as school clothes, pajamas, sports uniforms, and dress-up clothes. We read books and looked at pictures showing clothing from different seasons, cultures, and occupations. The class discussed how weather affects what we wear and how special clothing can be used for jobs, celebrations, or safety.
Throughout the study, the children built vocabulary, practiced self-help skills, and developed an understanding that clothing is both useful and a way people express themselves.
